“Monica and Christopher were awesome. I was able to book extremely short notice and I got tons of updates and pictures! I had a nervous baby, and they took her in without questions and within the first night I had pictures of my "nervous" kid playing, cuddling, and smiling like she was home!”

“AWESOME!! Margie was the perfect sitter for our little guys respite! This was our first time ever being away from one another for more than a couple of days and he stayed with Margie for the whole week. She was very patient with both of us, and sent us messages and pictures everyday. We take a week vacay once a year and will definitely be reaching back to to make sure she’s available.”

“Very friendly, lots of pics and updates, and most important... They were patient with my spoiled mutt. They were just as friendly as they were professional. Definitely recommend them in high esteem.”

“Our dog is an anxious baby but Celia made her feel so comfortable. Celia sent lots of updates and pictures as well as worked with us on having to text on multiple platforms. We will definitely be coming back to her when we go on a trip again!”

“Lexi was amazing, she took such great care of Belle and sent the best pics and videos while we were away. Belle had the best time, she wasn't ready to come home when I got there to pick her up.”

“This was my first time using the Rover app for my 9 week old puppy and Gina was amazing! She took such good care of my little one and gave him plenty of love! She had awesome communication, sent us pictures throughout his stay, and was very flexible with my work schedule. I would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be booking again.”

“Fantastic environment for King as he enjoys himself and feels like home. They really take care of your pets and I will continue to use them in the future.”

About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“OMG words cannot describe how wonderful Nontombe cared for our baby, Diamond, during our vacation. She provided loving care and provided photos of Diamond’s daily activities. We will highly recommend Nontomb! She is now Diamond’s sitter when we are out of town.”

“Dolly had a great time with Stacey and her family! Stacey kept me updated with pictures during her time there. She walked her and kept her active! Would definitely recommend and bring Dolly back again.”

“Karen is an exceptional Rover sitter. She made my anxious pup feel truly loved and at ease. Karen ensured our baby got plenty of exercise with frequent walks and took exceptional care of him during our recent trip. I highly recommend her.”

“Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.”

“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”

“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”

“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
Lexington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bruce absolutely loved his time with Jessica and her two adorable pups! We were at our destination wedding during his stay and I didn’t have to worry about him once! I got so many photos and she coordinated with my parents while I was in my honeymoon. Highly recommend! We will be rebooking with Jessica! Bruce was in good hands and had the best week!

Bokyung is truly one of the most responsible and caring sitters I’ve ever met!🌷🌷❤️❤️ Dun Dun is a very high-energy puppy who needs a lot of interaction, playtime, and attention, and Bokyung did an amazing job meeting all of her needs.❤️ She was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs! Dun Dun was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I really appreciated the updates lovely photos and videos and how thoughtful Bokyung was throughout the stay. Her mini Aussie, Bean, is also absolutely adorable! very friendly and sweet and Dun Dun got along wonderfully with her. It was such a relief knowing Dun Dun was in such a loving and engaging environment. I would highly recommend Bokyung to anyone! We would absolutely love to book with her again!

Patricia is an excellent care taker! Buster was so happy being with her. She gave lots of great updates and little videos. The pictures she sent showed us that he was as comfortable at her house as he is at home. Buster is a little more needy with his care because he is a senior dog now. Patricia had no problem feeding him by hand to help him. I highly recommend using Patricia for your boarding needs.
